In the last two decades, Spain has built up a strong infrared community which have successfully contributed, at Co-I level, to the construction and to the scientific exploitation of basically all European InfraRed (IR) space instruments. The IAC has contributed to the construction of infrared instruments for the space telescopes ISO (ISOPHOT-S) and

This research project endeavors to deepen the understanding of the AGN phenomenon and its impact on how galaxies evolve, both from an observational and a theoretical perspective. Four groups of researchers, with proven experience and extensive knowledge and skills in different areas of Extragalactic Astrophysics directly or indirectly related to

The collaboration Estallidos has been working together for more than two decades. In the present edition, we have organised the research work into five Objectives which are described in the common MEMORIA presented by the coordination node (CIEMAT). The tasks proposed by the various nodes are closely intertwined. They are organised according to our

The project will explore the detection of anomalies in large surveys using deep neural networks.

SHARKS (Southern H-ATLAS Regions Ks-band Survey; IP: Helmut Dannerbauer) is a deep near-infrared survey of a 300-square-degree region of the sky being carried out with the VISTA telescope and its VIRCAM instrument at ESO (European Southern Observatory in Chile) in the Ks-band (at 2 micrometer). With SHARKS we expect to detect about 20-30 million

The dimensions of the instruments in design for the next generation of large telescopes exceed the capacities of the cryogenic and vacuum infrastructures available at the IAC. Cryogenic instrumentation requires a large number of tests to verify its mechanisms and components, as well as of the whole instrument once assembled. These verification
